A legend in Vegas for his fearless nature and his large betting practices,William Lee Bergstrom is a story that still to this day amazes anyone who hearsit. Better known around the Vegas community as “The Suitcase Man” or “ThePhantom Gambler” William made a name for himself in a rather short period oftime on the gambling circuit.
He wasn’t like many of the other gamblers that had taken up residence in thecasinos on the Vegas strip. He was a courageous gambler who wasn’t afraid tostick his money where his mouth was and make the casino owners do the same.Early Years
William was born in Austin, Texas in 1951 and had a brother named Alan. Alan andWilliam had an unsettling childhood growing up in a family with divorcedparents. The divorce hit William hard and led to him striving for approval fromhis absent father.
He graduated from high school in 1969 and went on to attend college at theUniversity of Texas until dropping out in 1974. Once he dropped out of collegehe started selling real estate which became his livelihood for the remainder ofhis life. He did very well as a real estate agent and that allowed him to startpurchasing his own properties.
He likely never would have come to Vegas had itnot been for Benny Binion and his gimmicks. Binion had started a new promotionwith the name “The Sky’s the Limit” where he promised that any gambler who cameinto his casino and was willing to make their first bet their highest, he wouldmatch it.
William just happened to be one of those people who just couldn’t letsomething like that go by. So he did everything he could to put enough moneytogether to make a bet that would be life changing, and when he did he headed toVegas.
He didn’t have a life of luxury before going to Vegas but he wasn’t a poorman. He had become a real estate mogul by the time he started his career as agambler. He never gave up his real estate business, but after his trip to Vegashe decided to travel the world for a few years.Gambling
In the early 1980’s a casino in Las Vegas owned by the Binions declared thatthey’d match any high stakes bet that was placed at their casino as long as itwas the player’s first bet. This was just another of Benny Binion’s gimmicks toget more people into the casino and raise the wagers at the start of the game.
Back in Texas, William heard of this promise and decided to see just how realit was. He placed a call to the Horseshoe casino to talk to Benny Binion. He askedif he placed a $1,000,000 bet if it would still be matched. Binion said yes, butat the time William didn’t have the money.
He started gathering the money up and when he had accumulated $777,000 hedecided he was going to try his luck. He packed one suitcase with $777,000 andtook another empty suitcase and headed to Vegas. When he arrived at theHorseshoe casino he headed straight for the craps table. He apologized to Binionfor not being able to raise the full $1,000,000 and asked if the $777,000 wouldbe matched as well.
When he entered the casino he didn’t exchange his money for chips, he justtook his suitcase full of money and placed it on the table. He placed his fullbet of $777,000 on a single dice game of craps don’t pass line. Instead of onlyplaying with his $777,000 cash bet he was also playing with the casinos $777,000match, which gave him a total wager of $1,554,000 on a single bet at the crapstable.
The current shooter established a point of six and just two rolls laterrolled a seven giving Bergstrom the win. He placed the bet anonymously but whenhe won one of the owners, Benny Binion, came down and introduced himself andeven helped William pack up his winnings. Together they packed his emptysuitcase up with the casinos $777,000 and William picked up both suitcases andwas walked out to his car by Benny’s son Ted, and that was the last they saw ofWilliam for years.
This is not the end of William Lee Bergstrom’s time in Vegas. He, like mostother high stakes players, couldn’t stay away and was back at the Horseshoeplacing another large bet. He’d been gone for around three and a half yearsbefore he showed back up on the scene.
William came back to town on March 24th, 1984. He placed a bet of $538,000 onanother craps game. He won this bet and was on a roll. He ended up winning anadditional $190,000 and another large win of $90,000 on the don’t pass line oncraps games. He used his winning for good and took his mother to see WillieNelson, then disappeared again.
On November 16, 1984 he finally made his million dollars bet he’d wanted tomake that first time he walked into the casino. He called his now friend BennyBinion to check and make sure that the casino would still honor their promise.
Benny agreed that as long as his first bet was his highest bet he would matchit. When he walked into the Horseshoe on that November day he had a suitcasefilled with $550,000 in cash, $140,000 in gold Krugerrands, and $310,000 incashier’s checks. He made the same bet as before, and put it all on the don’tpass line on a game of craps.
This was not to be a repeat of his first bet with the casino, as on the firstroll of the dice the shooter won with a roll of seven, causing William to loseeverything. He left the casino and would not be seen there again.
William had become known as the “Suitcase Man” throughout the gambling worldbecause of the way he always carried his money. Every time he came into a casinohe would be carrying two cases. One case was full of money, and one was empty so he had some way tocarry out what he won.
He had a confidence about him when he walked into the casino that appealed toother gamblers and the casino owners. Benny and Ted Binion got to know Williamover the years. Ted is even noted as saying that the money that William used toplace that first $777,000 bet was all borrowed money.
He said that William had told him that if he had lost that bet he wasplanning on committing suicide instead of going back without the money. By somegood fortune he won that bet and was able to instead travel the world beforereturning to do some more gambling in 1984.Death of William Lee BergstromWilliam Lee Bergstrom
A few months later, on February 4th, 1985 William was found in the Marinahotel on the strip, dead. He had committed suicide by taking too many pills. Itis said he left a will in the room but what was in the will has never beenreleased.
His friends and family believe that at the time of his death he was not broke,but that he was actually still working in the black with about $647,000. Manythought his suicide was a result of his epic $1,000,000 dollar loss but hisfriends and family believe it had nothing to do with his loss at all.
He had recently gone through a break up with his partner who was 10 yearsyounger than him and this is believed to be the real reason for his decision toend it all.
Although his life ended at a young age, William will be forever remembered forhis courage to challenge a casinos promise to match any bet no matter the size,and making that bet as large as he could.Legacy of William Lee BergstromWilliam Lee Bergstrom
Bergstrom didn’t belong to the lifelong member club of the gambling elite inLas Vegas. He didn’t spend years making a name for himself and he didn’t haveto. Instead, all he had to do was take up the challenge put out by Todd andBenny Binion to seal his status in Las Vegas Lore.
Not only did he win that first bet and double his money but he also had avery dramatic loss just a few years later that gives his legacy a fairy talegone wrong feel. Just like many others in the history of gambling and that highstakes world of Las Vegas, William became known by a nickname. He was dubbed the“Suitcase Man” because of his tendency to arrive at the casino with twosuitcases.
His legend is so well known in Vegas that just the mention of William or theHorseshoe casino is sure to get the story going. William’s story was even referencedin an episode of CSI. In the episode, a man comes into a casinoand places a $1,000,000 dollar bet on a single roll of the dice, and lost. Eventhough this is a fictional show, it shows just how legendary this story reallyis.
Since his passing, there have been a number of awards and prizes establishedthroughout Vegas in his name. Even with The Horseshoe Casino no longer beingunder the ownership of the Binion family, it doesn’t change the story of WilliamLee Bergstrom from being told to the newbies.Conclusion
William Lee Bergstrom will forever be known as “The Suitcase Man”, and willalways be remembered for his courage to take the casino’s challenge and win.Even with his epic loss being the last bet he ever placed, the story of thatfirst bet lives on and above his losses.
